CT Republicans Should Learn From Trump Instead

The March 3 front-page story "Anxious About Trump's Success" featured Connecticut Republican leaders' concerns about Donald Trump's run for the presidency and his potential impact undermining political races in Connecticut.

The most ludicrous quote was from former state Republican Party chairman Jerry Labriola, who said "Trump will set the party back a generation." During recent years, Connecticut Republicans have lost every congressional seat in the Senate and the House. They have lost the governor's office. They continue to retain a minority in the General Assembly, where they have been totally ineffective.

Connecticut's Republican leadership, in this generation, has demonstrated a complete lack of political abilities and has consistently supported inadequate, losing candidates for Congress and for governor. Perhaps these so-called leaders should start emulating Donald Trump instead of criticizing him.
